DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Welcome to the discussion group for divisions 009 & 010!

These two divisions are brother divisions and will be training together from the beginning through BS21 their final test. Your SRs, soon to be SAILORS, are becoming friends, and some of them may be heading to A School together.

Get to know each other, your SRs are!

Every single question that is asked is important
Every single concern is genuine
Every single member is important to us
We don't want to accidentally overlook any of them or you.

Hang in there!!!

Good morning everyone! Relieved I finally received a phone call from Matt on Tues. He was at the NEX & was picking up supplies for several guys. He said he was bored & tired of all the studying they were having to do but was passing everything. Glad they had stepped up PT some but was disappointed they were only having weapons training for 2 days. He said he had the shiniest boots in the Div. (from boredom, ha!) I can't wait to see him in his uniform! Today (Fri.) starts wk 4-1 for them & they're counting the days just like us!

Hello, my SR is Sean, Div 009.  Heard from him a week ago but not since. He was doing well, just says he scuffs too much!
